We all pay for actions of fanatics

There are so many fanatics in the world. These are people who are incapable of "putting themselves in others' shoes."

Fanatics are not always crazy people, but they are just as dangerous. When a fanatical nutcase in the United States makes a dumb movie, we all have to pay. When Terry Jones, a pastor of a church in Gainesville, Fla., who is notorious for performing Islamaphobic stunts, promotes the film online and posts a video, and announces a plan to burn the Koran on 9/11 - we all pay.

It's not fair, but that's the price we have to pay to be a civilized nation. It's up to us, not our resident fanatics, to tackle this terrible problem. We have no choice.
